One more Carmilla portrait for you <3

Good evening/day/night my dear blood donors,
.... Oops, I wanted to say my dear friends XD

Today I want to welcome everyone who joined our Patreon family and to share with you one more photo of my Carmilla.

OMG, I really like this photoshoot and I can't wait to show you MOOOOORE *_*
I'm very happy to hear that you like this cosplay! Not gonna lie, it's quite challenging to bring characters like her to life without making it look weird. If it's an animation, then pretty much everything looks good, but when it comes to real life, some things may look very awkward hahaha
Carmilla is one of these tricky characters. Extremely pale grey skin... WHITE pointy eyebrows? Hahaha it took me some time to figure out how to make this cosplay canonical, but still looking good XD But I have to say that I'm satisfied with the final result!

I also worked a lot on her shoulder pads. In the TV series she has just flat golden shoulder pads and it looks good when it's a drawn image, but in reality I felt that Carmilla would wear something more complex, stylish and luxurious? So I crafted these accessories with a beautiful ornament and I really love the result ( LOOKS RICH HUH? XD)
What do you think? Do they look good?

I also have some very exciting thigs I want to share with you!
I was finally able to buy a new camera with new optics!
It's the new CANON EOS R5!!!
OMG, I had to hunt it for a few months, but today it finally arrived and I have already taken a few photos of my dog and I'M SO HAPPY AAAAAAA! The quality is absolutely amazing and I'm so excited to do my upcoming proto projects using this camera!
Almost all my photos were made with the Fujifilm XT30, which was very good, but thanks to your support I was able to purchase a TOP lvl camera, which hopefully will allow me to create even better photos *_*
And now I need to test it on something simple. Any ideas for a casual photoshoot? ;D


Also, I would like to apologize for the possible delays with my responses in March.
As you may know, due to war, I had to move to another country and reestablish my whole life and working space.
Last month has been very tough, but I'm trying to focus on good things in life. Though it may take a bit more time for me to reply to your messages, as I have an insane amount of tasks currently. But I'm thankful from the bottom of my heart for your incredible support and for your kind messages. I'm trying to do my best to reply to them ASAP! <3
Thanks for your understanding ^_^

May this day bring you a lot of joy :)
Stay safe!
